Max Onyegbule

Max Onyegbule is in his second season on the Nebraska staff in 2015, and he serves as a defensive graduate assistant. Onyegbule will primarily work with a talented Husker defensive line this fall.

In 2014, Onyegbule assisted a Nebraska defensive line that featured first-team All-Big Ten selection Randy Gregory and second-team all-conference pick Maliek Collins at defensive tackle. The play of the defensive line helped the Blackshirts rank among the national leaders in pass efficiency defense, opponent pass completion percentage and third-down defense.

Onyegbule spent the 2013 season as a defensive graduate assistant at Kansas, his alma mater.

As a defensive lineman for Kansas from 2006 to 2009, Onyegbule registered 67 tackles as a three-year letterwinner. As a senior in 2009, Onyegbule totaled 37 tackles, including 16 solo stops. He added 11 tackles for loss and 6.0 sacks. Kansas enjoyed great success during Onyegbule’s career, including a 12-1 record in 2007, when the Jayhawks earned an Orange Bowl victory over Virginia Tech and finished with a No. 7 final national ranking.

Onyegbule earned his bachelor’s degree in economics from Kansas in December of 2010. He is currently working on his master's in education administration. Onyegbule is married to the former Charity Stowers.
